The incident took place at his residence when the actor was preparing to leave for Kolkata in the early morning hours. Meanwhile, Govinda's manager has confirmed that the bullet has been removed from the actor's leg and his condition is now stable.

Govinda ji was about to leave his residence for the airport when this accident happened,” the actor's manager Shashi Sinha said.

This year's Dadasaheb Phalke award will be given to legendary actor Mithun Chakraborty. Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced this on Monday in a post on X.

"From the streets of Kolkata to Cinematic Heights; Mithun Da’s remarkable cinematic journey inspires generations! Honoured to announce that the Dadasaheb Phalke Selection Jury has decided to award legendary actor, Sh. Mithun Chakraborty Ji for his iconic contribution to Indian Cinema," Minister Vaishnaw announced.

The Minister said the award will be presented to the veteran actor at the 70th National Film Awards ceremony on October 8.

The actor made his acting debut with the art house drama Mrigayaa (1976) by Mrinal Sen for which he won his first National Film Award for Best Actor. The film was a major box office success in the country and outside also, particularly in the then Soviet Union.

Entering the sparkling galaxy of Hindi film music with the haunting "Aayega Aanewala" ("Mahal", 1949) for ethereal Madhubala, Lata Mangeshkar became the definitive voice of several generations of legendary Indian film heroines, from Meena Kumari to Madhuri Dixit, Nargis to Neetu Singh, Padmini to Parveen Babi, and Sharmila Tagore to Sridevi.

As the voices of singing superstars such as Noor Jahan and Suraiyya were stilled due to emigration or premature retirement and changing tastes made the likes of Shamshad Begum obsolete, Lata Mangeshkar, who was born on this day (September 28) in what was then the princely state of Indore in 1929 in a family that made its mark in music, ably filled the gap with other superlative talent.

To this end, she gamely surmounted what Dilip Kumar once gently mocked as the "dal-chawal" flavour of her Urdu, to achieve perfect diction in that expressive language to fashion magic in thousands of songs she rendered for a gamut of talented music composers and lyricists.

Let us revisit this superlative voice of Lata Mangeshkar through the immortal songs that she sang for divas of the silver screen down the ages, though this effort can be highly subjective.

Do we choose the pensive "Zindagi Bhar Nahi Bhoolegi Woh Barsaat ki Raat" or the daring "Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya" for Madhubala, the soothing "Ghar Aaya Mera Pardesi", or the carefree "Panchi Banu Mast Phiru Mast Gagan Mein" for Nargis, the effervescent "Mere Naseeb Mein Tu Hai Ki Nahi" or "Ae Dil-e-Nadaan' for Hema Malini?

Veteran Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, who hosts the quiz based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’, has shared his story of struggle with regards to the content on OTT.

The senior actor said that there’s a lot of content on the medium to OTT to keep up with. He also said that films are largely meant to be seen on the big screen considering the hard work of a film's crew.

The upcoming episode of the show features Kishor Aher from Bid, Maharashtra, who is a dedicated librarian preparing for a competitive exam. He shared his dream of establishing an educational institute in his village to honour his grandfather.

In a light-hearted exchange about watching movies on the big screen, Big B said, “It often happens that when I go to watch a film, I read the title beforehand, but if someone asks me a month later which movie I watched, I forget the name. I mention this because nowadays, there is an overwhelming abundance of films. Whether on mobile or in theatres, there are countless options everywhere”.

Kishor shared, "We usually watch movies on our mobile devices”, to which Amitabh Bachchan replied, "I find it difficult to watch on such a small screen; it feels a bit strange. We’ve worked hard to enjoy films on the big screen, Hum bade parde ke liye bane hai, and there’s something truly special about watching a film in the theatres”.

Telugu Superstar Jr NTR took to his social media handle and shared a glimpse of the prestigious film festival in Los Angeles.

Taking to his Instagram, Jr NTR shared a clip from the stage as he got a huge round of applause at the premiere of his action-thriller ‘Devara: Part 1’ which commenced at a Beyond Film Festival in Los Angeles.

In the video, Jr NTR is seen receiving thunderous clapping and loud cheers from his fans present there. The film Festival was largely filled with Western audiences and the rest were Indian viewers who attended the screening which signifies the fan-following of Jr NTR has increased especially after his 2022 magnum opus ‘Roudram Ranam Rudhiram’ also known as ‘RRR’ helmed by ‘Bahubali’ fame director S.S. Rajamouli.

Singer-actor Ayushmann Khurrana took to his social media handle and unveiled his latest electrifying number ‘Jachdi’ alongside ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ actress Pashmina Roshan.

The ‘Vicky Donor’ fame actor took to his social media and shared the music video of his latest number which is filled with the joy of festivities all around.

Post-RRR, audiences have eagerly awaited 'Devara', and it is safe to say that NTR Jr delivers beyond expectations with a truly terrific performance.

From the moment he appears on the screen, his presence commands attention, especially in the film’s intense and raging fight sequences. It's been a while since we've seen him in such a thrilling avatar, and the action is nothing short of spectacular. High-octane moments and sheer madness permeate the film, making the action sequences the talk of the town, with each one raising the bar for Telugu cinema. The underwater sequence, in particular, is breathtaking, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.

Saif Ali Khan, in a powerful and layered role, exudes a commanding presence as Bhaira, embodying the perfect ruthless antagonist. His character’s clash with NTR Jr’s Devara and Vara is electric, and Saif’s nuanced performance elevates the film's emotional stakes.
